2: Fuel filter & Fuel tank air filter are considered to be maintenance free\
. However, regular inspection is still recommended, because the maintenance schedule depend\
s on the fuel
quality. When there are critical safety problems, such as fuel flow blocking, overflowing, power
loss, and hard starting, immediately replace the fuel filter regardless of maintenance sche\
d-
ule, and consult an authorized EQUUS dealer for further information.

To assure the proper engine and powertrain performance and durability, use
only lubricants of the proper quality.
The proper lubricants also promote engine efficiency, leading to a better fuel
economy.
These lubricants and fluids are recommended for use in your vehicle.
*1Refer to the recommended SAE viscosity numbers on the next page.
*
2Engine oils, labeled as Energy Conserving Oil, are now available. Along with other
additional benefits, they contribute to fuel economy by reducing the amount of fuel
necessary to overcome engine friction. Often, these improvements are difficult to
measure in everyday driving, but in a year’s time, they significantly reduce costs and
deliver energy savings.
*
3When the API service SM engine oil is not available in your country, you are able to use API service SL.
